Ever since I first got involved in the Martial Arts, I dreamed about visiting Asia and the Orient. From the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and Tokyo, to the serene and contemplative worlds of the rural districts, Asia is a place that satisfies mind, body and soul in perfect harmony.

My first taste of Southeast Asia, began in 1990 when I stopped off in Hong Kong for a few days, on my way to the UK. I fell in love with the hustle and bustle of the place and I've been back several times since. In later years, I visited Japan and Singapore and spent a bit of time in both places. Both countries were fascinating in many ways and I enjoyed my time there.

Although I have barely scratched the surface, I had a fantastic time in the places I have visited and am already planning future trips to this wonderful part of our world. I would very much like to visit India and Mainland China, as well as spending some time in south-east Asia (particularly Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand).
